Integration of technology into the learning process brings new opportunities for interaction and engagement. ICT can facilitate student learning, it offers the ability to provide instruction at any phase, in any place and, at any pace, thus generating an extremely flexible learning environment whether through providing more interaction with the content or more interaction with other people.
DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) provides public schools with appropriate information and communication technologies (ICT) that would improve the teaching and learning process. It is among DepEd’s efforts to raise the ICT literacy to learners, teachers, and school heads by integrating ICT in the school system by providing laboratory packages to secondary schools and electronic classrooms to elementary schools.
